Issue description

I was experiencing slow GE, freezing 1-2s after staging a file section. I started by checking through SysInternals ProcessExplorer and I see there is a continuous run of git-mergetool, however I don't see those in the command log, maybe due to the fact that there seems to be a hierarchy of sh processes, the topmost one keeps on starting other identical commands sh "C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core\\git-mergetool" --tool-help=diff

Steps to reproduce

Start GE Open a repo

Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions?

don't know
